The «mol» stand a prototype of the future module of the "Baikal" generator

THE «MOL» STAND

• A prototype of the future module of the "Baikal" generator

• The goal - investigation and optimization of the generation circuit of an electric pulse

• The "MOL" stand is created in TRINITI

• A key circuit units of the stand is tested at separate installations:

• POS - in «Kurchatov Institute»

• Magnetic compressor - "PUMA" installation in TRINITI

• Explosive switches - in D.V. Efremov SRIEA (NIIEFA)

• Fuse switches - in RFNC VNIITF

ARRANGEMENT OF «MOL» STAND

SCHEMES OF THE CAPTURE OF THE MAGNETIC FLUX IN MC

• At “MOL” the scheme of pulse generation for generator “BAIKAL” is developed. The following experimental results were obtained when creating the “MOL module :

• the first two stages of power amplification are in operation. The 30-fold multiplied current up to 150 mks at a voltage of over 20 kV was produced;

• acceleration characteristics of the MC plates are well predicted using 2-d calculation models developed;

• a method of initial magnetic flux generation in the area of liner compression using “capture “ of a flux part from the accelerating contour and 20-fold magnetic induction amplification in the area of converging accelerated plates has been experienced;

• the output switch before load provides full switching the current to the load

• the output switch before load provides mutual synchronization of two POS
